Other POWERWAND/Accelerated Seldinger Technique benefits include:
* Greater patient satisfaction, due to extended dwell time and blood draw-ability. In a published, peer-reviewed study (JAVA, Spring 2012), patients rated their satisfaction with the device at 98.7%. By comparison, only a minority of patients (42%) reports being satisfied about their experience with other kinds of peripheral IVs.
* Ease of insertion. Whether insertion is ultrasound-guided or by direct visualization, the Accelerated Seldinger Technique is an easier, safer, and faster method than the conventional Modified Seldinger Technique.
* Improved safety for patients and healthcare workers, by reducing the risk of accidental needlestick, guidewire and air embolism, contaminated components, and splash contamination.
"Our goal with the POWERWAND has been to deliver the safest, most reliable catheter a patient can have, using a technique that keeps healthcare workers safe as well. The published and presented studies demonstrate that we've met that goal," said Dr. Bierman.
